For sale is a rare and unique vintage Chinese carved serpentine jade (Xiuyu) goose, relatively large in size, showcasing a vivid gesture and lovely body form. Meticulously hand-carved and finely polished in old style, this piece features a rare and desirable He-Mo type (河磨料) Xiuyu in yellowish-green, adorned with brownish and white mottling patches. The hardstone's texture is mild and moist, while the surface boasts a natural oily sheen. Displayed on a fitted hardwood (Hongmu) base, the carving is in overall good condition with some natural fissures and minor signs of age and handling. Mid 20th century. Former private Connecticut collection.

*In Chinese literature and poetry, wild geese are spiritual symbols of marital bliss and partnership. They are also symbols of loyalty, integrity, and love. Chinese geese are considered by many to be the most graceful and beautiful member of the goose family. They are sometimes called “Swan Geese” because of their long and graceful necks. They are believed to have originated in China and are descended from the wild swan geese that are native to Asia. less
